Unlocking Faster, Safer Robot Control with ESPADA
ESPADA introduces a novel, semantics-aware framework for accelerating robot imitation learning. Traditional methods often inherit slow, cautious human demonstration tempos, leading to inefficient robot execution. ESPADA overcomes this by intelligently downsampling demonstration data, prioritizing precision in critical phases while accelerating casual movements. This approach leverages Visual Language Models (VLMs) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to understand 3D gripper-object relations and task semantics, allowing for aggressive speedup without compromising safety or success rates. The system requires no extra hardware, data, or retraining, and has been validated in both simulation and real-world scenarios, achieving up to a 3.6x speedup.

Case Study: Real-world Impact: Kitchenware Task
In the Kitchenware task (handling bowls and cups on an AI Worker robot), ESPADA significantly outperformed DemoSpeedup under high acceleration settings. This task involves delicate cup-grasp phases and contact-rich manipulations.
ESPADA (ACT, 2x/4x) achieved 16/20 successes compared to DemoSpeedup's 1/20 success. This highlights ESPADA's ability to reliably maintain precision-critical phases and avoid over-acceleration in sensitive interaction segments, leading to vastly superior task completion rates in complex real-world scenarios.
